Glute Kickback (Band)

An isolation exercise that targets the glutes through a single-leg hip extension movement using a resistance band.

Instructions

1. Attach a resistance band to a fixed point at floor level.
2. Loop the other end of the band around one foot.
3. Stand upright, holding onto a support for balance if needed.
4. Drive your leg backward against the band resistance, extending your hip.
5. Squeeze your glute at the end of the movement.
6. Return your leg to the starting position in a controlled manner.
7. Complete all repetitions on one leg, then switch to the other.

Tips

• Keep your torso upright and avoid arching your lower back excessively.
• The movement should come from your hip; avoid swinging your leg.
• Perform the exercise slowly and deliberately for maximum glute activation.
• Perform the exercise equally on both sides for balanced glute development.
• This exercise is excellent for isolating the glutes effectively.
